"FIVE-MINUTE UNIVERSITY" is among my favorite 1970's
comedy routines. Donald Novello, aka Father Guido
Sarducci, said that his Five-Minute University
"teaches you in five minutes what the average college
student remembers five years after he or she's out of
school."

He's got a point there.

As an MBA might be summed up with "Buy low; sell
high," I likewise submit that the most essential
medical knowledge can be expressed just as simply:

Too simple to work? Not at all; because you can see
for yourself that it works. I defy even the most
pharmaphilic skeptic to go and try such a lifestyle
change for a month and not see measurable health
improvement.

Too hard to do? That would probably be closer to the
real basis for objection.

I say, Be a health nut! After all, if you're not,
then what kind of a nut are you?

A. B. writes:
"It has been like a breath of fresh air to see at
your website many of the issues I have discussed
(sometimes in not so friendly a manner) with doctors.
I have found it very difficult to find any doctor
willing to meet me even half way on natural
protocols. What can the public do to combat doctor
and political ignorance regarding natural remedies?
If I understand correctly, if I personally suggest
remedies to others not in my immediate family I'm
breaking the law. However, the word must get out.
This effort must be grass roots - and we must not
wait. How can we get this going?"

To answer your question, here are some thoughts for
you and for all Newsletter readers directly from
Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D. I'd like to add that
November 11, 2004, is Dr. Hoffer's 87th birthday.

"In 1957 Dr. Humphry Osmond, Margaret Jean Callbeck
and Irwin Kahan and I published the first fruits of
our research using vitamin B-3 as a treatment for the
schizophrenias (Treatment of schizophrenia with
nicotinic acid and nicotinamide. J Clin Exp
Psychopathol. 1957 Apr-Jun;18(2):131-58). This
included the results from our double-blind
prospective controlled randomized trials we started
in 1952 (the first in the history of psychiatry) and
the results of many additional clinical studies. We
reported that adding the optimum dose of this vitamin
(niacin and/or niacinamide) to any treatment doubled
the recovery rate for early schizophrenic patients.

"We were using niacin and niacinamide before the new
psychiatric drugs entered the North American market.
Our results were better and safer but we had no one
to support us. While drug results were more often
more dramatic, they were also much more dangerous.
Eventually, it turned out that drugs, while helping
in the short run and used in small doses, in the long
run stopped the process of recovery long before the
patients became well, and froze them into a chronic
semi-invalid state from which they can not recover as
long as they remain on the medication.

"Today, 47 years later, orthomolecular vitamin
treatment is still relatively unknown. The use of
drugs is world wide and sanctioned by powerful drug
interests, the professional associations and
governments. It seems not to matter that huge numbers
of patients are being denied their chance for full
recovery.

"Sluggish acceptance of new treatments is nothing
new. Over three hundred years ago, Dr. Thomas
Sydenham
(http://www.whonamedit.com/doctor.cfm/1989.html and
http://www.brainyencyclopedia.com/encyclopedia/t/th/t
homas_sydenham.html ) discovered that the standard
treatment for small pox actually increased the death
rate of this dread disease. The treatment of the time
increased temperature by heaping many covers over the
unfortunate patients, by giving them strong English
whisky (at least they died happy) and keeping the
windows closed. Sydenham did just the opposite. He
let patients sleep on top of the blankets, prohibited
any strong drink, and allowed fresh air to ventilate.
In 17th century England, without central heating, it
was hard to increase fever in the cold winters and
very easy in the warm summers. According to old
medicine's theories, the death rate should have been
very high in he winter and low in the summer. But it
was just the opposite. Under his care, the death rate
equalized at a very low level over the whole year.

"Dr. Sydenham had to face 1,500 years of dogma. The
doctor was threatened with loss of his license. He
was challenged to a duel. He sought help from a
member of the English nobility, saying in a letter
that a medical discovery is like a sapling in the
middle of the King's highway: if you do not fence it
in it will be trampled down by the galloping hordes.

"Dr. Sydenham was supported and later knighted. He is
considered the father of bedside clinical medicine.
There is a bronze plaque in his honor near the
Parliament buildings in London. If the regulatory
medical bodies over the past 300 years had the same
authority and ultraconservative attitude they have
consolidated today, we would still be treating small
pox by increasing the fever.

"Unlike Dr. Sydenham's sapling, niacin has not been
fenced in and the treatment has indeed been trampled
on for the past 40 years by the galloping hordes of
professional establishments, the American Psychiatric
Association, governments, the FDA , the National
Institutes of Mental Health, and by nearly every
health-professional organization. It is a wonder that
there are any orthomolecular doctors at all. But it
is even more wonderful that orthomolecular medicine
is not merely alive, it is beginning to flourish.
Groups of doctors from seventeen countries have
joined the International Society of Orthomolecular
Medicine (http://www.orthomed.org/isom/isom.htm).
This week I enjoyed the visit of two psychiatrists
from Japan who are introducing niacin treatment into
Japan.

"We no longer need a protective fence but rather
armies of patients, their families and their friends
who will help us move this very important information
into the general field of medicine and psychiatry.
The sapling must flourish into a forest.

"On the occasion of my 87th birthday I urge you to
join the common cause which I have called simply
bringing sanity into modern medicine. Here are some
thoughts on how each of us can activate the process:

1) Personal development: this means reading and
studying nutrition and
nutritional medicine, and searching for a physician
who is sympathetic if not actually involved
(http://www.doctoryourself.com/naturedoc.html) . This
can and will lead to better health. One can then live
life as an example of what can be done.

2) Relationship to family and friends: You can use
your own health as a model without having to give
direct treatment advice. One simply talks about what
has helped them and has helped others. This would not
be considered giving medical advice, but will
encourage anyone seriously interested in improving
their life.

3) Community: Organized activities, such as a
neighborhood wellness club
(http://www.doctoryourself.com/news/v2n20.txt) can
help people get together to discuss what they have
read. Also, write letters to the editor of your local
newspaper, and to Senators, Congressman, Members of
Parliament, and other elected officials
(http://www.doctoryourself.com/write_now.html ). This
can be very effective.

"Since all these activities take time, one must be
patient and not hurry it along too much. In the end,
you will, as Linus Pauling said, live longer and feel
better.

"Thank you, Andrew Saul, for allowing me this use of
your excellent newsletter.

The Seattle School Board has unanimously approved a
comprehensive and far-reaching set of nutrition-
related policies designed to provide students with
healthy food and beverage choices during the school
day. Specifically, the policies will ban sales of all
foods containing high levels of sugar and fat,
improve the quality and appeal of school meal
programs, and prohibit contracts with beverage
vendors for "exclusive pouring rights."

The district's current exclusive contract with Coca-
Cola will be phased out within one year. The policies
also give direction to the school meal program and
others to offer fresh, local, organic, non-
genetically-modified, non-irradiated, unprocessed
food, whenever feasible.

Seattle Schools have posted links to all their
nutrition policies and procedures at their website:
http://www.seattleschools.org/area/news/x40903nr.xml?
wrapper=0 .

DOCTOR YOURSELF NEWS Comment:
This is bigger than you might think: there are 100
schools in the Seattle district. Not only that, the
entire State of Washington is following suit.
Fantastic!

Among those we can thank for this initiative is
Alexander Schauss.

Alexander G. Schauss, PhD. has held a number of
academic appointments, and has been a member of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of
Alternative Medicine Advisory Council and the
Developmental Planning Committee of the NIH Office of
Dietary Supplements. Dr. Schauss is a Fellow of the
American College of Nutrition (FACN). He is author or
co-author of more than 100 papers or works, and
served as Editor-in-Chief of the International
Journal of Biosocial and Medical Research for 13
years.

Schauss has appeared on television shows including
Phil Donohue, Maury Povich, and Oprah Winfrey. I
heard Dr. Schauss speak at the Nutritional Medicine
Today conference in Vancouver earlier this year. I
think you might like to hear what he has to say about
how your kids' school lunches relate to their
behavior and academic performance.

DOCTOR YOURSELF NEWS: Dr. Schauss, how did all this
good nutrition news come about?

DR. SCHAUSS: The impetus for the effort in Seattle
and the state of Washington was laid down 20 years
ago following the largest nutrition study ever
conducted in the world. It involved 800,000 students
at all grade levels in 803 schools representing every
demographic profile. The study started the year after
I published Orthomolecular Treatment of Criminal
Offenders. This work was read by the head
nutritionist for the New York City public school
system. My advice was to significantly increase the
nutritional density and fiber levels of the breakfast
and lunch meals served to students under the national
school lunch program. I placed particular emphasis on
the need to significantly lower or eliminate "empty
nutrient" foods, such as sugar, unfortified wheat
flour, sodas, and most desserts. To my surprise, the
NYC schools agreed with my recommendations.

DY NEWS: How bad were the foods in the NYC schools?

SCHAUSS: An article in the New York Times described
NYC public school's meals as some of the most
tasteless and unappealing in the country, combined
with well below average national academic
standardized test scores; this despite some of the
highest teacher salaries in the country, numerous
advanced degrees among its teaching staff, and a
teacher to student ratio of 1:17, in addition to
students living in one of the most culturally
enriched environments in the world.

DY NEWS: What was the science behind the better-food,
better-grades concept?

SCHAUSS: The effects of the dietary changes were
evaluated by California State University. The
university sent a team of researchers and data
monitors to NYC for four years, as sequential changes
in diet were instituted. Basically, an interrupted
time series design was employed. When the study ended
in 1983, it took the researchers nearly one and a
half years to analyze the data. Finally, in 1986,
they presented their findings in a featured
presentation at the annual meeting of the American
College of Nutrition. According to the CSU, the diet
changes instituted caused the largest gain in
academic standardized test performance in US
education history. This is particularly significant
for a large school district.

Even the testing services began wondering how a
school district of such heterogeneity of students
could in one year, for example, gain 8 percentage
points, when the expectancy was no larger than a gain
of 2%. The results were published the following year
in the International Journal of Biosocial and Medical
Research.

DY NEWS: What was the response from government?

SCHAUSS: A hearing was held in the US Senate. Senator
Jessie Helms, originally a strong critic of NYC's
efforts, ended the hearing commending the school
system, pointing out that the USDA administered
school lunch program was originally established by
Congress after WW II to insure that children and
adolescents would not suffer the degree of
malnutrition and its after effects experienced in the
1930's during the depression resulting in the loss of
millions of potential soldiers for the war effort
during WW II. Few people knew that the school lunch
program was started by the Defense Department, not
the USDA.

DY NEWS: When did the public begin to hear of the NYC
study?

SCHAUSS: In 1987, Barbara Friedlander and Arnold
Meyer and I collaborated in writing a book on the NYC
study. Barbara was the Chief Nutritionist for the NYC
public school system, and Arnold was the information
officer for the system. The book was published by
Simon & Schuster in 1991 (Schauss, AG, Friedlander, B
and Meyer, A. Eating For A's). It received
considerable positive national press and media
attention. Within just a few months it sold out. It
was never re-published. Eventually I received back
the rights to the book. It was re-released in 2004 as
"Feed My Brain," without any revisions.
(http://www.feedmybrain.com/book/index.html and
http://www.feedmybrain.com/html/history.html)

Feed My Brain describes which nutrients were
responsible for the significant gains in academic
performance, along with a discussion on the effects
of nutrients on athletic performance. There are
several chapters showing parents how they can
systematically introduce the same changes in diet at
home, via a 12 week diet modification program.

DY NEWS: Certainly you must have run into objections
to such sweeping nutritional change. From whom did
your opposition come?

SCHAUSS: Many dieticians and school food service
directors claimed that students were already
receiving a "balanced diet" and there was no need to
reduce sugar, sodas, etc. I even recall a professor
of dietetics stating on television that there was
nothing wrong with a child eating a popular breakfast
cereal that was nearly 60% refined sugar. Seeing that
both academics, often with connections to the food
industry, and dieticians in particular, created road
blocks to improving the diet, the effort was
reorganized by several parents into a determined
grass roots movement.

I should also mention that other pioneers should be
given credit for demonstrating the benefits of a
highly nutritious, nutrient dense school meal
program. Helix High School, near San Diego, some 35
years ago established a salad bar and offered no
sodas or sugar-foods in its cafeterias. It had the
state of California's highest academic standing and
top athletic teams for a decade while this program
operated, until the food service director retired.
Similarly, Fulton County, Georgia, under the
leadership of Sara Sloan, did the same thing 30 years
ago, with similar results. All I did was meet these
pioneers, study their approach, examine whether the
scientific literature supported their approach, and
advocate replication of their meal programs in other
school districts.

DY NEWS: How does it feel to have backed the right
horse, nutritionally speaking?

SCHAUSS: In just the first two days after the Seattle
Schools' announcement, I have had emails of
congratulations from all over the world. It took
years, but note that not only has Seattle taken the
initiative: more importantly, the state of Washington
is doing the same in every school district in the
state. Recently, France instituted similar efforts in
the entire country! It will be interesting to see if
what started in Washington state will be adopted by
school districts and states in the USA.

DY NEWS: Some final thoughts?

SCHAUSS: In my opinion, given the rising rates of
diabetes (Type II), heart disease, obesity, etc., it
is high time we begin early in assuring ourselves
that our children get the healthiest, not most
profitable, foods. They are our future and they
deserve to have schools and parents committed to
insuring that they have a future as healthy adults.

PRISONS, CRIME AND NUTRITION
Having personally taught inside two NY State prisons
(one medium, one max), I offer some of my own
thoughts on improving inmate nutrition at
http://www.doctoryourself.com/prison.html

THANKSGIVING FOR ALL
Whether they were in the slammer or the gutter, I
have seen good nutrition and vitamin supplements help
the most despairing members of the human race. The
American holiday of Thanksgiving is always a good
opportunity to reflect on what is most important in
our lives. Natural health promotion, done right,
means reaching out to everybody, even people behind
bars or out on the street.

The following report tells what our charitable
vitamin dispensary program has been up to:

St. Joseph's House of Hospitality in Rochester, NY,
feeds 75 to 100 folks daily. The majority of our
guests live in SRO (single room occupancy) on low
fixed incomes or are homeless; and come to our
kitchen to receive a nutritious meal each day. Most
of our food items are donations. Our cook, Rafael,
does an incredible job of putting together healthy
and delicious meals each day. Without the
encouragement of FOODLINK, our local foodbank, and
the generosity of many of you we would not be able to
run our nutritional program. I wish to highlight here
a very special donor.

Andrew Saul believes in natural healing and vitamin
therapy. Now an editor of a medical journal, he has
been on the cutting edge of this 'non-traditional'
approach to healing long before conventional medicine
determined the merit of such alternatives. (See his
website at www.doctoryourself.com .) Due to Andy's
passion for sharing preventive health measures with
others, he began making daily doses of vitamins
available to our guests back in 1983.
(http://www.motherearthnews.com/menarch/archive/issue
s/085/085-016-01.htm The book and information packet
prices mentioned at this 1984 article are, of course,
20 years out of date; the costs are now $24 and $36,
respectively.
http://www.doctoryourself.com/order.html)

Now, each day at lunch, a St. Joseph's volunteer goes
table to table and offers a multi-vitamin tablet to
each guest. That is generally about 50 to 60 vitamin
tablets per day that are given out, and each vitamin
is a gift of love to those persons who might never be
able to afford this important health measure.

I have watched as a suspicious guest will initially
turn down an offer to partake of the vitamins but
slowly, over time and watching others, tentatively
will reach out their hand for this small dose of
prevention. Once this occurs, and the trust has been
established, the volunteer better not forget those
vitamins! They have now become a symbol of health and
well being and are expected each day. And as we have
learned, when we are participating in our own "health
therapy" we feel better about ourselves on an
emotional level and this in turn helps our physical
self. I have been privy to personal testimonies from
our guests as to how much better they feel since
taking their vitamins daily.

Over the years, this effort continued off and on as
funding allowed. Recently, there has been a new
resurgence of interest in the project, as medical
research continues to demonstrate the value of
supplemental nutrients, particularly for those with
borderline or subsistence diets.

Here's some more great news: earlier this year,
thanks to Dr. Saul, St. Joseph's House received over
500 bottles of multivitamins donated by the people of
Our Health Co-Op of West Palm Beach, Florida
(http://www.doctoryourself.com/news/v4n12.txt). The
Co-Op focuses on healthy aging and serving those with
limited means, and particularly fixed-income seniors.

Dr. Saul's determination and footwork have led to
many thousands of dollars worth of donated vitamins
coming our way to help improve the quality of life
for the people we serve. It is with the support of
such heroes that we continue our work.

(Editor's note: Thanks to the Worker for such a kind
and complimentary article. And, special thanks to all
donors and volunteers who have made this possible!

vitamin program in your community:

DOCTOR YOURSELF: Natural Healing that Works
A review by Richard Bennett

Having worked in the natural health care business for
many years, I've read many, many books on the
subject. While many of the books that I've read were
quite good, I've found that even the best of these
seem to be merely facts tied together with words. Dr.
Saul's work, Doctor Yourself, stands out in a market
that has long been saturated with books of varying
degrees of quality. Doctor Yourself is not only the
best of the best in the marketplace, it is book with
a voice. Reading Dr. Saul's book, I can clearly hear
the unique voice of the author in its pages. Dr.
Saul's vast knowledge of his subject is presented
with clarity, logic and humor. If I were to have one
health care book in my library, it would be Doctor
Yourself.

DOCTOR YOURSELF is easy to read, lively, humorous and
packed with practical, easy-to-follow suggestions for
maintaining and improving ones health. I agree with
the author's comment that folks need "education, not
medication."

I highly recommend this book to others because it
helps people to help themselves. In these times of
rising medical costs, along with the fact that many
lack health insurance, Dr. Saul's book gives hope and
confidence, almost like a personal consultation with
the author. It sets out dozens of well-documented
nutritional protocols for treating ailments using
supplements rather than prescription drugs, thereby
avoiding drug expense and side effects. The book
deals with with quite a few chronic and serious
health conditions, as well as more common concerns.
Doctor Yourself provides down to earth and well-
researched information.

(Might it be added that DOCTOR YOURSELF books make
great holiday gifts? To order AUTOGRAPHED copies of

FIGHTING FLUORIDATION
Did you know that 98% of Western Europe is
unfluoridated?
http://www.fluoridealert.org/govt-statements.htm

Did you know that a number of senior scientists at
the US Environmental Protection Agency oppose
fluoridation of water?
http://www.fluoridealert.org/testimony.htm and
http://www.fluoridealert.org/hp-epa.htm

So does Hardy Limeback, DDS, PhD, head of preventive
dentistry at the University of Toronto, Canada. Take
a look at what he says:

"For many years, I was a vocal supporter of water
fluoridation. That was before I had reason to
carefully examine other published studies. What I
learned, after thoroughly researching the fluoride-
toxicology literature, which, like so many other
proponents of fluoridation, I had previously ignored,
horrified me. After much soul-searching, I publicly
apologized for having misled so many for so long. So
now, it is my carefully considered opinion that water
fluoridation should be banned. Here are my reasons:

"Fluoride is not essential for normal tooth
development. Dental decay is not a disease caused by
a lack of fluoride. It is caused by poor oral hygiene
and frequent exposure to dietary sugars and starch.
It is now recognized that swallowing fluoride does
little to prevent dental decay.

"Fluoride does not make your teeth "stronger" or more
resistant to decay by incorporation into the tooth
structure during development. However, if you swallow
fluoride, it increases the risk of childhood dental
fluorosis, especially when tap water is used to make
infant formula. Dental fluorosis not only manifests
in mottling of the teeth but it also makes teeth more
brittle.

"Some studies indicate that there is an increased
risk of bone fractures in both children and adults
where there is increased dental fluorosis. Fluoride
accumulates in the skeleton: the longer the exposure,
the more brittle your teeth and bones."

TOTAL FLUORIDE INTAKE TOO HIGH
by Andreas Schuld
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pfpcnews/message
s

Since September 14, 2004 a most interesting article
has been available on-line at the US National
Institute of Health, as published in the journal
Environmental Health Perspectives.
http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/members/2004/7077/7077.pdf

In this paper, the authors set out to estimate the
total intake of fluoride in children, including
estimated total fluoride intake from drinking water,
beverages, infant formula, cow's milk, food, soil,
supplements and toothpaste.

In fluoridated areas, children's fluoride intake is
estimated up to 0.2 mg per kilogram body weight per
day. What this means is that at an age of 2 years, a
child is within the range of risk of 'dental
fluorosis' (a boy toddler weighs on the average 12.3
kg) [http://www.fnri.dost.gov.ph/irs/table1.htm] .
So, at this age/weight he would be taking in 1.23
mg/day of fluoride from dietary sources alone,
already above the so-called "optimum range" for
caries prevention.

In a fluoridated-water area (at 1 ppm) he would be
taking in 2.46 mg/day, way above the 'optimum range'.
An adult weighing 70 kg would be taking in 14 mg/day
by this estimate.

(Editor's note: The authoritative Physician's Desk
Reference lists adverse reactions to fluoride at as
low as one-quarter part per million
(http://www.doctoryourself.com/fluoridation.html).

MEDLINE'S FLUORIDE BIAS

Dear Dr. Saul,

"Dr. Hans Moolenburgh, who was instrumental in
Holland changing its constitution in 1976 to ban
fluoride being added to drinking water there, wrote
to a friend of mine on Jan 8th 2003 that the journal
FLUORIDE, devoted to fluoride research, and which is
not political but purely scientific, a veritable
encyclopaedia of everything known about fluoride, has
been banned from MEDLINE.

"I feel that this is something that you and your
readers might like to know. It is all part of the
overall fluoride fraud which is so brilliantly
exposed by Christopher Bryson in "The Fluoride
Deception." (reviewed at

MORE TOOTH DECAY IN POOR CHILDREN;
FLUORIDATION NO HELP
by Paul Beeber, nyscof@aol.com

"Caries experience may be associated with income,"
reports the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Low income, not fluoridation deficiency, predicts
more cavities is revealed in newly-released
statistics posted 10/25/04 on the CDC's website (1).
Those states reporting third-graders cavity rates and
children living below the federal poverty level
indicate that poor children have more cavities, even
when water is fluoridated. And, the states with the
highest rates of fluoridation don't have the lowest
cavity rates.

Water engineers dispense fluoride chemicals into two-
thirds of all Americans via their water supply,
attempting to prevent tooth decay. However, in the
United Kingdom, where only 10% drink fluoridated
water, tooth decay rates are equal to or better than
those of the U.S.(2) and have declined over the last
ten years.(3) In contrast, U.S. cavity rates
increased(4) along with fluoride overdose symptoms,
prompting some researchers to suggest that water
fluoridation be stopped (5a,b).

In both the U.S. and U.K., lack of money and dental
care predicts higher rates of tooth decay, regardless
of fluoridation status (6a,b).
